Chapter 6. A Stupid Idea

Pilar leaves the bar. She must find a solution.

Usually, when she’s walking, good ideas come to her, so she decides to walk around the city without any destination in mind. She turns right, then left, crosses a square, waits for a green light, then turns back.

In the end she thinks, “I’ll go back to Javier’s place and if he’s not there I’ll call him.” It’s twenty to nine. It’s late and she must hurry.

Javier is not home. All Pilar can do now is give up on the surprise and phone Javier.

Pilar calls him a second, a third and then a fourth time, but Javier doesn’t answer. Now Pilar is desperate.

“What a stupid idea I had! How stupid to have secrets from Javier! The entire day has been wasted!”
